freezer121 is on a distinguished road
Thanks for the advice. I've tried Tweak UI from Powertoys but it shows that I'm already using H:\ for Programs. I've done a quick hunt through the registry and see that I have about as many instances of G:\ as of H:\ - in other words it's all a bit of a muddle and I reckon Sephiroth's advice to live with it is probably the way to go. At least it has forced me to be more alert and actually read the screen when doing mundane tasks so I see where stuff is actually going!!

For interest, the only thing that resolutely refused to function from it's new position was Office XP. It tried to reinstall at each boot, then brought up a message to the effect that the OS was not properly configured for the software and filled the events log with error messages - some relating to inability to find G:\ based software and some relating to H:\ based software. I solved that problem by uninstalling and reinstalling - interestingly, I did not lose my activated status despite it being a retail version and activated normally.
